Meet Mrs. Pelphrey

I came to teach at Birches Elementary School in 1990. I have been married for 41years and have one precious daughter, a great son-in-law and a set of twins for grandchildren. I graduated from Montclair State College and hold a Master's Degree from Rowan University and one from MaryGrove College. After graduating college, I taught in a middle school/high school setting for a number of years before coming to settle in South Jersey. I love teaching as a profession because I enjoy working with children. They are always full of excitement and keep you on your toes. Music has always been an important part of my life and I want to share this gift with the children at Birches School.
